Hi,how can I identify if the charger of a Beocom 6000 is for the MK1 or MK2 version?I want to buy a table charger with the following data:TD 318932Item no: 1062929Serial no.: 1983....Is this MK1 or MK2? Is there a list to identify those things?
I have one with exactly the same numbers and use it with a Mk1 BC6000. It has an EU 2-pin plug.
And I have another downstairs with the number 1040929 which is also for Mk1, but has a UK plug.
Thank you for your help!Is there a list or s.th. where we can check globally if it's MK1 or MK2?
It's pretty straightforward to identify a Mk1 and a Mk2 BeoCom 6000 Charger. It's all on the contact points!
On the Mk1, the contact points are perfectly round - like so....
On the Mk2, however, the charging points are larger - more or a round ended rectangle, like so....
The phones match the charging pins - so the charger contacts on a Mk2 handset are the same size as the charging recesses on a Mk2 handset (being larger). This is the sole reason you cannot sit a Mk2 handset on a Mk1 charger... the larger contacts on the Mk2 handset are simply too big for the small, round charging recesses on the Mk1 charger.
Conversely though, you CAN charge a Mk1 handset on a Mk2 base as the small, round contacts fit easily into the larger 'round ended rectangle' recesses on the Mk2 base.
Make sense?! LOL

I am sure that's useful Lee, but did you delete my other post with the link to beophile? I thought that was useful also!
Thank you Guy and Lee for clearing it up. The photos are helpful.

I did indeed Guy! I also sent you a message!!
Please feel free to repost the link, but I felt that the images gave the conclusive reply.
Thanks for clarifying - no message received though!
EDIT: Message now received - thanks Lee, all understood!
